We are going to hike the first section of the Courtois, from the Onondaga to Bass Resort, this weekend, 9/16/2017 to 9/17/2017. Can anyone tell me if the campground shown just before mile 13 on the map "COURTOIS 1 MILES 0 TO 14" is a campsite on the OT or is it the "camp and pay" site(s) the Bass Resort runs? Frankly, I would rather not pay.

I have camped on the ridge just before descending to the Bass River area. The coords are 15S 0659638E 4205690N UTM. All forested, relatively flat. May be a little brushy and ticky this time of year. It's an easy walk-out in the morning to Bass's where you can get breakfast in their main lodge.
